There's a little movie that is rightfully causing some buzz at recent film festivals.
The Florida Project is the new movie from writer-director Sean Baker, who staked his claim two years ago with “Tangerine,” an indie feature he shot entirely with an iPhone camera.

Its central characters are Halley (Bria Vinaite - discovered on instagram) and her precocious 6-year-old daughter Moonee who live in a motel that's managed by Bobby (Willem Dafoe), a man whose stern exterior hides a deep reservoir of kindness and compassion. Despite her harsh surroundings, the precocious and ebullient Moonee has no trouble making each day a celebration of life. Her endless afternoons overflow with mischief and grand adventure, while her mother soon finds herself exploring increasingly dangerous options as a way to keep them both alive.
